Revellers fall to the ground as they run with Jose Escolar Gil's fighting bulls along Calle Estafeta during the forth day of the San Fermin Running of the Bulls festival on July 09, 2022 in Pamplona, Spain.
The iconic Spanish festival has resumed in PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) - A tense fifth bull run at Pamplona’s San Fermín Festival on Monday left three people gored, including one American, and three others with bruises, the Navarra regional government said.It was the first run with gorings in the festival so far this year.
There are three more daily runs before the festival ends Thursday.The regional government said a 25-year-old runner from Sunrise, Florida, was gored in the calf in the bullring.
The other two gored were Spaniards, one in the ring and one on the street. None was in serious condition.Earlier festival organizers had said erroneously that the foreigner gored in the ring was Australian.Three other runners, all Spaniards, were treated for injuries sustained in falls during the run.Television images showed one bull repeatedly tossing and butting one runner against the wooden barriers on the edge of the ring and then goring another in the back of the leg.The spectacle lasted just over three minutes as hundreds of runners, mostly men, ran frantically ahead and alongside six fighting bulls as they charged through the cobblestone streets of this northern city.
